Premature failure of used generating station forces N.B. Power into expensive overhaul
Utility paid Emera $46 million for Bayside natural gas generating station that has broken down
Known as Bayside, the generating station was purchased after what N.B. Power claimed was extensive "due diligence," including a pre-sale inspection that it said gave no hint it would not last until 2026.
But the plant suffered a major internal failure on Jan. 24 of this year and has not operated since.
"A rotor blade issue resulted in the plant coming offline," N.B. Power spokesperson Marc Belliveau wrote this week in an email to CBC News confirming the breakdown.
"This was an instantaneous event with the rotor blade that an inspection would not have detected as a possibility of happening."

Power said the Bayside generating station carried no warranty against
failure but it did collect an insurance claim because of the incident
for an undisclosed amount. (Mike Heenan/CBC News file photo)
Belliveau said the utility is now installing a "new gas turbine and generator" in Bayside at an estimated cost equal to the original purchase price — $46 million — and hopes to have the plant back online by the fall.
The incident has not been widely publicized by N.B. Power, but information about it spilled out last week during a hearing in front of the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board when the utility was asked about Bayside's operation over the past winter and spring.
That caused N.B. Power official Craig Church to acknowledge the plant has been idle for months.
"So I guess I should mention that Bayside has had a forced outage since sort of the ... end of January," Church, a senior company engineer, said in answer to a question about the plant's recent performance.
N.B. Power announced the purchase of Bayside in March 2019 from Emera Inc., the parent company of Nova Scotia Power. The plant was 20 years old at the time but was judged to be in good enough shape to operate for at least an additional seven years.
Commissioned in 1999, Bayside was set up as an independent merchant plant to sell electricity to N.B. Power between November and March each year and then export the rest of the year.
It is a medium sized facility that can produce about 40 per cent of the electricity of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station's full capacity and is N.B. Power's only natural gas-fired unit.
Emera
CEO Scott Balfour said the Bayside generating station 'fit better' as
an N.B. Power asset after his company sold it for $46 million in 2019.
The plant broke down within three years. (Paul Withers/CBC )
The plant has had multiple owners, including Irving Oil Ltd. for a time. Emera bought it in 2009 and ran it for 10 years before selling to N.B. Power in 2019.
In hindsight it was a timely divestment by the Nova Scotia-based company.
"Thinking long term, we agreed that the Bayside facility strategically fit better as part of N.B. Power's generation fleet moving forward," Emera president Scott Balfour said at the time of the sale.
In May of 2019, at N.B. Power's annual rate hearing, then company vice president Keith Cronkhite told the Energy and Utilities Board no significant problems at Bayside were identified in its evaluation of the facility or during negotiations to buy it from Emera.
"As part of the Bayside acquisition, we did go through an extensive due diligence process with an external third party related to condition assessment of the station itself. That assessment did not uncover any areas of concern," said Cronkhite
"Through the engineering review and our knowledge of the facility itself, we did not identify any areas of concern as it relates to the station."

generating station in 2019 for $46 million. N.B. Power said it was
satisfied the then 20-year-old plant had no serious issues. (Jon Collicott/CBC)
In a 2019 press release N.B. Power said the "independent third party" consultant, Coleson Power Group Inc. "was impressed with the station's condition," including its "like-new" combustion turbine.
However, those specific words do not appear in the actual inspection report, which is still on file with the Energy and Utilities Board. The firm noted several areas where the plant was showing its age and would need careful monitoring.
"The Bayside condition is generally what would be expected for a facility of this vintage," said the report.
As part of its inspection, the Coleson Power Group estimated with an additional $22 million of repairs and upgrades, Bayside could be made to run for 10 years past 2026. In its latest resource plan released in November 2020, N.B. Power announced it liked that idea and would proceed with a refurbishment of Bayside in 2027.
The breakdown of the plant in January has required those fixes be carried out now and at an elevated expense.
According to Belliveau, N.B. Power found an "existing new gas turbine, built to Canadian standards" that was available at a discount and decided to replace, rather than repair the existing turbine.
He said the more modern unit is designed to squeeze five per cent more electricity from the same amount of natural gas, which will help reduce carbon emissions per unit of electricity and pay for the expense of the switch.
He also said it will allow Bayside to operate longer than the original refurbishment plans.
There was no warranty on the plant, according to Belliveau, but N.B. Power did submit an insurance claim to try to recover some money.
"N.B. Power did recoup funds through insurance, the amount of which cannot be disclosed due to business confidentiality reasons," he said.

Secret participants and 'collusion' worries cause halt in N.B. Power hearing
Utility calls for consultant representing unnamed clients to be expelled
N.B. Power is asking that a consultant being paid to represent the unknown parties be expelled by the EUB and his evidence disallowed.
N.B. Power lawyer John Furey said the utility has believed since late last year that the consultant, William Marshall, had been representing only himself at the hearing but is now wondering if he is part of a larger "collusion" among other participants.
"It never crossed my mind that Mr. Marshall was here other than as a member of the public who is interested in the proceedings," Furey said during the virtual hearing last week. "That he was actually representing an unnamed third party, I find that — I am shocked by it, frankly.
"It creates the possibility that there are other interveners in this proceeding who have also retained Mr. Marshall, and we now have collusion or corroboration through Mr. Marshall of the position that another intervener is taking to create the impression for the Board that there is consensus. It is absolutely unfair."
The hearing, which was postponed earlier in the spring for unrelated reasons was finally scheduled to conclude last Friday but has now been adjourned until Aug. 10 to hear arguments on how to deal with N.B. Power's concerns about cloaked participants.

last week proceedings could not continue until N.B. Power's demand that a
consultant be removed is dealt with. (Graham Thompson/CBC)
Final arguments on transmission rates themselves, which were originally supposed to be in place back on April 1, have been delayed until Sept. 9.
N.B. Power's extensive transmission system serves a variety of businesses and generators that depend upon it to move electricity in and around the Maritime provinces, Maine, Quebec and deeper into New England.
The operation of the system, including its fees and expenses, is regulated by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilites Board.
Multiple parties, including Marshall, are participating in the hearing and have been challenging N.B. Power plans to raise fees for its transmission services. One particularly controversial proposal is a plan to more than quadruple what N.B. Power charges to "balance" the uneven flow of electricity through its system caused by the up and down production of area wind farms.
N.B.
Power has nearly 7,000 kilometres of high-voltage transmission lines
crisscrossing New Brunswick. The system costs up to $145 million a year
to operate, and fees charged to system users offset a portion of that. (NB Power/Facebook)
Marshall is a former senior N.B. Power executive and once oversaw the operation of the transmission system as president of the independent New Brunswick System Operator, which was absorbed by N.B. Power several years ago. He has operated a private consulting business for the last 14 years.
Marshall's consulting company WKM Energy Consultants Inc. registered to participate in the hearing on its own behalf.
But under questioning last week by acting public intervener Rick Williams, Marshall confirmed the company is being paid by "more than one" silent party to represent them.
Under additional questioning by Furey, Marshall acknowledged the parties did not want their participation to be known.
N.B.
Power is responsible for 'balancing' the power produced by wind
turbines in New Brunswick, northern Maine and Prince Edward Island. The
current transmission hearing is considering a proposal to substantially
raise fees on wind producers. (Shane Fowler/CBC News)
"The clients that I am [representing] really did not want to be identified by themselves that they were here, so I am doing it on their behalf," Marshall said.
"The concern of my client is that, you know, several of them have relationships with N.B. Power, and they don't want to tarnish those relationships."
Marshall said it was explicitly in his original application to participate in the matter that his company had an interest in participating because it "works regularly with many parties throughout the region" who are affected by N.B. Power's transmission policies and charges.
He offered to disclose the identities of those who hired him in confidence to the EUB, but Furey took the position the parties who hired Marshall should be the listed participants even if Marshall is the one who presents their arguments.
"It is not in the public interest to permit Interveners to represent the interests of undisclosed or unidentified third-party commercial interests," Furey wrote in a formal notice of motion calling for Marshall to be expelled and evidence he has submitted to be struck.
"The only possible purpose of such a form of intervention is secrecy, which is contrary to the "open court" principle which governs Canadian courts and tribunals," he concluded.
Saint
John Energy is represented at N.B. Power's transmission hearing by a
lawyer hired by it and New Brunswick's other two municipal utilities. It
won't say if it is also secretly being represented by consultant
Willian Marshall. (Saint John Energy)
Under questioning, Marshall listed eight clients of his consulting company that would be impacted by a change in transmission charges in New Brunswick and suggested "some" of those eight were the ones he was representing.
Among the eight are Saint John Energy, which takes electricity off N.B. Power's transmission system to supply city customers, and Liberty Utilities, which owns the Tinker hydroelectric dam that links to N.B. Power's transmission system near the Maine and New Brunswick border.
Marshall did not say if either company is among the ones he is working for, but both are represented separately at the hearing already, and Furey said there is a danger a secret participant enjoyed "double representation" throughout the hearing and potentially benefited from unfair procedural tricks.
"One possible outcome is that one representative of the third-party interest would be in a position to cross-examine (and thus ask leading questions of) an expert retained by the second representative of the third-party interest," wrote Furey in his formal notice of motion.
"Double representation may also result in the stacking of multiple expert witnesses, creating a false impression for the board that there is consensus that does not truly exist."
On Monday, Saint John Energy would not comment on whether it is one of the parties paying Marshall.
"There is currently a motion in with the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board on this issue," company spokesperson Jessica DeLong wrote in an email..
"We will not be commenting at this time out of respect for the NBEUB's process."
The EUB said if a resolution between N.B. Power and Marshall can be worked out, Aug. 10 may be used to hear final arguments. Otherwise the day will be devoted to hearing the utility's application to have Marshall barred from participating.

Greetings!
I am attaching a presentation that might interest some of you. It
discusses the forces that are shaping the future of electric
utilities. These forces are going to disrupt the existing utility
business model. In order to get ahead of change, utilities will have
to make significant changes in how they price electricity.
Comments welcome.

Board staff have only one comment related to the draft report. We
believe it is important to that during the discussion of scorecard
that it be mentioned that some parties, including Board Staff, did not
participate in the scoring exercise.
David Young
Senior Advisor
New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board
(506)643-7573
October 12th 10 2018.
CHAIRMAN: “I think it really goes back almost to the first 5 question
that appeared in our August 23rd letter was 6 whether or not the
matter should be commenced anew or if 7 the existing evidentiary
record continues.”
MR. AMOS Yes. The record of this matter clearly shows it's been
delayed long enough. I -- as you know, I opposed when it was adjourned
or whatever in 2017. I believe it should begin right where we left
off. We already went through the first round of interrogatories, or
however you say the word. Right now the current government has
promised to freeze the rates for four years. NB Power has a huge
problem. We don't know who has the next mandate. But if the current
government maintains that mandate, I am surprised to see that you are
the Chair of the Board. I thought that you were gone, but apparently
you have been reappointed. Anyway, I think we should begin where we
left off. All the documents that are in the records should be added
to. There is no need to consult with anyone. The matter is clear. NB
Power has to come up with a way to design rates that satisfies the
Board, and the government and the people of this province. I think we
should start again right now.”
CHAIRMAN: Okay. Just to clarify then. You are suggesting that NB Power
really put forward their position on where this should go before we --
we would engage all of the parties with an independent facilitator to
talk about the strawman, if you will, that they have put up?
MR. STEWART: Right. And I would think that it would be -- I think a
strawman is an appropriate characterization that -- I mean, I -- in
that context, you know, whether it is a without prejudice proposal or
one subject to further discussion, but in order for the technical
conference that they propose to actually really achieve substantive
results quickly about defining the scope and what order and what time
table, we have to start somewhere. And any discussion is going to
start with the utility. So if they want to have a technical conference
to decide where their rate design application should go, then it seems
to me that they should come forward with some basic proposals of --
you know, the easy and obvious example is both the existing
evidentiary record and the rationale for the adjournment, you know,
turn on AMI.
And so there is not much point in us talking about where we will go
with rate design necessarily if that is in immediate play. So there is
some very basic unanswered questions that in order for a technical
conference to succeed on a reasonable time table, the utility needs to
come forward and give us that information to make a proposal as to
where they see it going, what their strawman is and then we can all
sit down and work froM that.
CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Union of Municipalities 16 of New
Brunswick, Ms. Cragg?
MS. CRAGG: Thank you. I will speak specifically to the question of
whether the matter should be commenced anew or if the existing
evidentiary record suffices. As a new intervener, our evidence and
information would not be included in that record. And so it is
certainly our opinion that there should be an opportunity for us to
present additional information. I will note that it was at the order
of the Board in Matter 375 that the issues presented by the Union of
Municipalities of New Brunswick at that -- at the rate application be
dealt with in this rate hearing. So the ability to present
information, to present our evidence to this rate design hearing is
quite important for it to be able to be considered in a genuine way.
So we would support the folks who have spoken previously and indicated
there should be an opportunity for a new hearing rather than
continuing purely on the basis of what was already presented.
CHAIRMAN: Maybe I can clarify that for you a little bit. The proposal
really was whether or not the existing record would continue with the
probability of new or additional evidence from NB Power and then the
opportunity for evidence from interveners. And so at this stage, no
matter which way we proceed, you would have an opportunity to file
evidence in this matter.
MS. CRAGG: I think that -- I think that my statement in support of the
previous speakers still stands but I appreciate that clarification.
CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you. Utilities Municipal, Mr. Stoll?
MR. STOLL: Good morning, Mr. Chair. There are I guess a few points. We
think there is some value in retaining the 1 evidentiary record and
then expanding on it. So I guess you would phrase that as a
continuation rather than starting anew.
In your exchange with Mr. Stewart regarding like a strawman type
approach, there may be some benefit in that. From a general
perspective, and I think this was evident in the letter we wrote in
August, is we see a need for some rescoping more to a kind of a
broader approach to really provide some of the benefit we think this
hearing should be trying to achieve. I think if you look at some of
the evidence that was filed, Mr. Christensen in the Christensen
report, that it raises some fundamental issues around rate
classification and where NB Power sits regarding the industry at large
and some other issues. I think also he raises some other questions
about the philosophy behind the approach to rates and rate setting.
And we also saw in 375 that rates -- and this was in the Dunsky report
-- that rates and rate policies such as net metering impact investment
decisions. I think that is one of the concerns my client has is we are
in the business of long-term investments, the dynamics are changing
and we need a rate structure that is going to be predictable for the
longer term and is going to send signals that achieves the objectives
we want. So we would like to continue.
We don't see this as a three month or a four month exercise in coming
to a decision. We see this as there may be some things that we can
deal with in the short-term. But we do feel that this -- to do things
right that this will be a longer term process. And that it may take a
year or in excess of a year to go through each of the various
components and come to resolution. And there may be a bit of an
iterative approach I think as we started down the path. We went to the
Christensen report and there were some issues raised. And so as we
take some steps forward, we may learn some things that we hadn't
considered before. So I think the parties should be aware of that and
they should be expecting that.
And with respect to collaboration and facilitation, we are in support
of that. We do agree that there would be benefit of an independence in
the facilitation. That it is not just one party's facilitator. That it
is a neutral facilitator that is helping guide the various parties
through the process. I think those are my submissions.
CHAIRMAN: “Thank you, Mr. Stoll. And I have to say that I think your
letter that we received in August was very helpful and obviously you
had put a lot of time in to thinking that one through.’

NB Power finances suffered $65.7M hit in March from COVID-19
Utility missed earnings target for 5th straight year after markets tumbled days before its fiscal year ended
NB Power's loss of $16 million in its latest fiscal year is the fifth year in a row the utility has seen its earnings fall below expectations. (CBC)
NB Power is reporting it lost $16 million in its latest fiscal year, a victim of the COVID-19 economic meltdown in March that ravaged its finances in a matter of days.
The utility had told the province to expect a $49.7-million profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31 — a figure New Brunswick Finance Minister Ernie Steeves used in his March 10 budget — but 21 days later, $65.7 million had evaporated and NB Power's accounts suddenly tumbled into the red.
"It was the instability of the financial markets in February and March 2020, largely as a result of the pandemic, that drove this reduction," said new NB Power president Keith Cronkhite in a statement in the utility's annual report released Friday.
Cronkhite was only named president on March 30, succeeding former president Gaëtan Thomas one day before the fiscal year ended.
Finance Minister Ernie Steeves announced on March 10 the province was headed for a $97.7-million budget surplus for the fiscal year ended March 31, but that depended on NB Power turning a $49.7-million profit. The utility's $16-million loss will show up when Steeves issues final financial statements later this summer. (Mike Heenan/CBC)
NB Power chair Ed Barrett was philosophical about the unfortunate turn of events in his own statement.
"It is remarkable that what we may remember most about 2019/20 are the events that surfaced just as NB Power's fiscal year was drawing to a close."
It's the fifth year in a row NB Power has failed to meet its earnings target although the problem this time was financial, not operational.
The money is managed by Vestcor, the Fredericton investment entity that handles New Brunswick government employee pension funds, and a steep collapse in global financial markets that began in late February was behind most of NB Power's losses, according to the account in its annual report.
NB Power's loss was caused by a March meltdown in financial markets, not operational problems, as its nuclear decommissioning investments were hammered. (Richard Drew/The Associated Press)
"The instability of the financial markets largely as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, led to a significant decrease in the gains on the investments year-over-year and was the primary driver of this unfavourable variance."
No one from the utility was made available to speak about the financial results Friday, but the loss will have a significant impact on New Brunswick's own fiscal year financial results which will be reported later this summer.
The province had projected a $97.7-million budget surplus for the year ended March 31, 2020, but the setback at NB Power will spill onto its books and erase two thirds of that.
A budget surplus the province had been projecting for 2021 has already been downgraded to a $343-million deficit.

N.B. Power CEO fired as utility embarks on 'transformational change'
Board of directors made decision to fire CEO Keith Cronkhite 2 years after he started in role
The company issued a statement Monday that president and CEO Keith Cronkhite would be stepping down from the position and that Lori Clark, the company's senior vice-president operations would be appointed to the role on an acting basis.
In an interview with CBC News, Charles Firlotte, chair of N.B. Power's board, confirmed the decision to remove Cronkhite was made by the board.
"The board is looking forward to the future and the energy sector in North America — indeed globally — is undergoing massive, massive change, transformational-like, and we need to follow suit.
"And we are also burdened with some pretty significant debt as well, and so we have a steep climb over the next few years and we're looking toward a transformational change from what N.B. Power is today, which is the last of the great monopolies, if you will, to an efficient energy provider for all New Brunswickers."
N.B. Power board chair Charles Firlotte said the company wants to make a transformational change in the way it operates. (CBC)
N.B. Power did not make Cronkhite available for an interview Monday afternoon.
His exit comes a little more than two years after he took on the role in April 2020.
A brief biography on N.B. Power's website describes him as having more than 30 years of industry experience.
It doesn't say how long he was with N.B. Power but that he held positions of increasing responsibility within the operations and corporate departments, including his previous role as senior vice-president of business development and strategic planning.
At the time Cronkhite became CEO, N.B. Power had just faced a wave of public scrutiny for its investment in Florida-based Joi Scientific's plan to turn seawater into electricity.
It was also facing pressure to reduce its $4.9 billion debt, which New Brunswick's auditor-general in 2020 said represented 94 per cent of the company's equity.
The Blaine Higgs government has ordered the utility to reduce its debt to 80 per cent of equity by 2027, but in the 2020-21 fiscal year, its debt went up by $9 million.
Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland wasn't made available for an interview, but in an email statement said he reviewed the board's recommendation to fire Cronkhite, and ultimately accepted it.
"The Board of Directors has our full support as it embarks on this corporate transformation for improved performance," Holland said.
Launching strategic review
Along with its decision to remove Cronkhite, N.B. Power has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to lead a strategic review, "which will include identifying immediate ways to optimize the current cost structure and meet debt obligations, as well as identifying alternative solutions to meet New Brunswickers' power needs in a cost competitive, reliable and environmentally sustainable way," according to its news release.
The board is also starting a search for a new CEO, which is expected to take "several" months.
Speaking to CBC News, Firlotte said an example of new strategies to meet the province's energy needs could look like what was done by Saint John Energy with its Burchill wind-turbine program.
"We have a large coal-fired plant in in Belledune that has a life expectancy of just six or seven years, at least in burning coal, and Coleson Cove, oil-fired as well," Firlotte said.
"So those are going to be essentially stranded assets that we have to replace and we have to make that migration toward, toward renewables as well, to be sure."
Change a good thing, says environmental advocate
Louise Comeau, director of climate change and energy solutions with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick agrees N.B. Power needs to significantly pivot in the way it operates.
"The whole world is moving toward using electricity day-to-day in their lives, and N.B. Power is not ready for that future at all," Comeau said
Louise Comeau, director of climate change and energy solutions with the
Conservation Council of New Brunswick, said she's pleased NB Power is
poised to make big changes to how it operates. (Kirk Pennell/CBC)
Comeau said large electricity utilities tend to be "conservative" in the way they operate, leaving them slow to respond to new challenges and changes in technology.
She said as an example. the company has poured money into the Point Lepreau Generating Station, leading to much larger debt.
"And that affects rates and it limits our options for the future, particularly around the need for renewable energy, more efficiency, a more flexible energy system.
"We have a fairly traditional approach to that, and we need to think about a new way to generate electricity and to manage electricity."
A surprise for some
Cronkhite's firing came as a surprise to Bathurst West-Beresford MLA Rene Legacy, who serves as energy critic with the Liberals.
He said he has spoken with Cronkhite during house committee meetings and found him to be intelligent and well-spoken.
Plus, he thought N.B. Power was already heading in a new direction under his leadership, especially the recent amendments to the Electricity Act that give the company the ability to pursue new revenue-generating ventures.

surprised and concerned about the firing of Cronkhite. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
"I guess my concern is in the last year-and-a-half, there's been a lot of files brought to the legislature around essentially setting a new direction, setting plans," Legacy said.
"And my understanding was Mr. Cronkhite was the architect of all this, so how do we tie in the fact that, you know, a person that was essentially in charge of all these changes is not there anymore?"
Legacy said N.B. Power's board also appears to be sending a confusing message over its priorities, and whether paying down its debt takes precedence over investing in new green technologies.
Whoever takes over as the next CEO, Kent North MLA Kevin Arseneau said he hopes they plot a long-term vision that sees the utility generating all of its electricity with renewable sources.
"What's extremely important when we talk about N.B. Power is that it's a Crown corporation, it's a public service," he said.
"And so they need to be at the service of the population of the province, moving forward with renewable energies and in a realistic and sustainable way, and bringing, obviously, our solar and wind projects up."

Energy affordability, not availability, ought to be the priority of Atlantic Canada's premiers
Premiers must tackle plight of those facing energy poverty, writes Larry Hughes
This column is an opinion by Larry Hughes, a professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax. For more information about CBC's Opinion section, please see the FAQ.
The final communique of the Council of the Atlantic Premiers Conference held in Pictou, N.S., on June 29 highlighted the need to improve energy security in the region. The premiers called on the federal government to support the long-term development of the Atlantic Loop, and help develop wind, solar, and tidal power projects and small modular nuclear reactors.
However, there is an energy security issue with which many Atlantic Canadians are already dealing and it is not the long-term availability of energy, it is its short-term affordability.
In the residential sector, three factors influence energy affordability:
First, the household's energy demand, notably the energy used for space and water heating, appliances, lighting, and space cooling.
Second, the price of the energy sources used by the household to meet its energy demand.
And third, the household's income.
The risk to a household's energy affordability can be found by comparing the total cost of the energy used by the household with its energy budget. If the cost is the less than what is expected, the household is energy secure. If the cost exceeds the budget, the household is energy insecure, or, more commonly, is in a state of energy poverty. (Energy poverty refers only to household energy costs; transportation energy costs are omitted.)
Breaking down energy poverty
Most energy poverty research limits a household's energy budget to no more than 10 per cent of its total expenditures.
Applying the 10 per cent limit to the most recent household energy data from Natural Resources Canada and household spending data from Statistics Canada, shows that the number of households potentially in energy poverty varies greatly across Atlantic Canada, both between and within provinces.
The most widely used energy sources for heating in Atlantic Canada are electricity, fuel oil, and wood (unlike in the rest of Canada, natural gas does not play a significant role in the region).
This varies by province, with at least 50 per cent of the households in Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick relying on electricity for heating, compared with at least 50 per cent of the households in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island relying on fuel oil.
Households earning less than about $60,000 a year and heating with oil
could be in energy poverty this winter, writes Hughes. (CBC)
The lowest cost energy source is wood and is almost always used in conjunction with electricity or fuel oil. About one-fifth to one-quarter of the single-attached homes across the region use wood for heating.
Regardless of the province, the data shows that the space and water heating costs for houses built more than 40 years ago and using oil for heating can be three or four times greater than for houses using electric heating and built in the past 20 years.
In all provinces, apartments typically required the lowest energy budget, followed by single-attached homes, and finally single-detached homes. Single-detached homes are the predominant form of residence in all four provinces and usually require the highest energy budget.
Regardless of the energy sources used or the type of building, energy poverty limits a household's short-term choices to either using more of the household income to cover the cost of the energy consumed or reducing energy consumption, or both.
For many households, the 10 per cent energy poverty threshold is soon breached when wages are not keeping pace with the increasing cost of food, goods, and transportation.
Households earning less than about $60,000 a year and heating with oil could be in energy poverty this winter unless there is a considerable decline in the price of crude oil and inflation is brought under control over the next several months.
Households in poorly insulated, older homes with baseboard electric heating will be in a similar situation.
Most provinces have a heating or energy rebate program to reduce the impact of high energy costs during the winter months. These budgets will need to be expanded as the cost of energy and the number of households falling into energy poverty increases.
There is a window of opportunity
Fortunately, there is a brief window of opportunity this summer to help those households with the most pressing energy needs.
Each province, or provincial agency responsible for reducing household heating costs, will need to redouble their efforts to reduce the energy demand in these households.
This might mean expanding existing energy efficiency programs and, where necessary, upgrading or replacing existing heating systems.
If a household is forced to choose between heating and eating, it will be facing a heating emergency. Provinces, municipalities, and community groups will need to prepare for such heating emergencies by having heating shelters available for vulnerable households.
In some cases, households may turn to other methods of keeping warm even if actions such as those described above are taken. Some choices, such as the unsafe operation of electric heaters or using a poorly maintained chimney, can result in housefires with potentially fatal results.
The Atlantic premiers are rightly concerned about long-term energy security in Atlantic Canada.
However, they must not forget the pressing need for the short-term energy security of all Atlantic Canadians.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

https://www.dal.ca/dept/maceachen-institute/about/fellows/FoundingFellows/Larry-Hughes.html
Dr. Larry Hughes is a professor at Dalhousie University where he teaches undergraduate Computer Engineering courses and an interdisciplinary graduate course in energy systems analysis. His research interests focus on the means by which a jurisdiction can identify, quantify, and mitigate the risks to the energy security of its energy system while transforming to a low-carbon economy.
He has written reports on electric vehicles for Nova Scotia Power and been an intervener at several UARB hearings on electricity rates and the Maritime Link.
Dr. Hughes has published in academic journals including Applied Energy, Energy, and Energy Policy, and the mainstream media, such as the Globe and Mail and Policy Options. He is often quoted in the media and his research has influenced energy policy in Nova Scotia. Dr. Hughes has a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the U.K.
In his own words
Why does policy matter?
Policy matters because it describes a plan or course of action for an entity to follow to meet or achieve certain goals. Ideally, both policy and the entity are able to adapt to changing circumstances.
For example, in an industrial or post-industrial society, energy policies govern the actions of an energy system so that it can provide customers with access to an uninterrupted, affordable supply of energy that is considered socially, politically, or environmentally acceptable.
What do you hope to accomplish during your time as a founding fellow?
For much of the 20th century, global economic growth has been coupled with emissions intensive energy-sources. In a time when emissions reduction has become critical, jurisdictions will need to develop policies that maintain economic wellbeing while decoupling their economies from these energy sources.
As a Founding Fellow, I intend to apply my background in systems and energy security to develop and analyze different policy scenarios that can assist jurisdictions in approaches to emissions decoupling.

>> [1] This decision arises out of an application filed by the New
>> Brunswick Power Corporation (NB Power) on May 5, 2021 (Application)
>> pursuant to section 43 of the Energy and Utilities Board Act, S.N.B.
>> 2006, c. E-9.18 (Act) and Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Board’s Rules
>> of Procedure (Rules of Procedure).
>>
>> [2] NB Power requests that the Board vary its decision of August 4,
>> 2020 (Matter 357
>> Decision), by granting an extension of the time required for it to
>> file an application
>> regarding the first phase of the rate design process from June 30,
>> 2021, to a date no later than June 30, 2022.
>>
>> [3] In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board directed NB Power to
>> commence a new proceeding to include three distinct phases: first, to
>> file an application by June 30, 2021, to address certain issues
>> identified in the decision; second, to provide details of the timing
>> and issues to be resolved, which would identify rate design options
>> and determine the rate structure; and third, to establish and
>> implement a new rate design.
>>
>> [4] On May 12, the Board ordered that NB Power serve the Application
>> and supporting
>> materials on all parties in Matter 357 and post them on its website.
>> NB Power filed an
>> affidavit, sworn on June 3, confirming that the Application and the
>> Notice of the
>> Application were posted in accordance with the Board’s Order. The Notice
>> of
>> the
>> Application was also published on May 13 in four daily provincial
>> newspapers.
>>
>> [5] At the hearing on June 8, Mr. Furey confirmed that NB Power
>> complied with Rules 8.2.3 and 8.2.6 of the Rules of Procedure with
>> respect to service and filing.
>>
>> [6] Written submissions were received from Mr. Scott Stoll, as counsel
>> for Utilities Municipal, and Ms. Heather Black, the Public Intervener.
>>
>> [7] Written submissions were also received from Mr. David Amos, Ms.
>> Liz Kramer, and Dr. Roger Richard. The Board finds that none of these
>> written submissions addressed the merits of the issue at hand, whether
>> the Board should vary the Matter 357 Decision, as described in the
>> Application.
>>
>> B. Issues
>>
>> [8] The key issue in this matter is whether the Board should vary its
>> Matter 357 Decision as described above and, if so, under what
>> conditions.
>>
>> C. Analysis
>>
>> [9] The Board held a hearing on June 8 by video conference and heard
>> oral submissions on behalf of NB Power, Dr. Richard, Utilities
>> Municipal, and the Public Intervener.
>> [10] Mr. Furey submitted that there are new facts since the Matter 357
>> Decision that have resulted in changed circumstances that, in the
>> overall context of these rate design
>> proceedings, make up sufficient grounds to vary the decision. He
>> further submitted that the expected easing of restrictions, referred
>> to by the provincial government as the “Path to Green”, is not the end
>> of business impacts as a result of the pandemic.
>> [11] Mr. Furey stated that the Board should consider the following
>> “four contextual factors” in its decision to extend the time to file
>> an application with respect to rate design:
>> (1) In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board identified that rate design
>> proceedings will move forward in a three-phase approach and that, in
>> NB Power’s submission, the Board correctly characterized this first
>> phase as laying a foundation for future rate design proceedings.
>> (2) The Board has recognized that decisions in this round of rate
>> design proceedings
>> would likely have long-term impacts for all customers, in particular,
>> the commercial and industrial classes. Mr. Furey submitted that NB
>> Power is required to bring forward proposals with respect to customer
>> classification, including an action plan for the elimination of the
>> General Service II class.
>> (3) Proposed changes to rate design impacts on the rates and bills of
>> certain
>> customers, especially in the commercial and industrial classes.
>> (4) The importance assigned by the Board to the ability, through
>> advocates,
>> of
>> under-represented customers, to make submissions, which would contribute
>> to
>> the rate design process.
>>
>> [12] Dr. Richard submitted that he had no objection to extending the
>> time to file an application to June 30, 2022.
>>
>> [13] Utilities Municipal supported the Application, subject to two
>> comments. First, Mr. Stoll expressed a concern that there may be a
>> strain on the resources of some regular participants in Board
>> proceedings, given the number of potential hearings within the next 18
>> months.
>>
>> Second, he stated that he does not wish to see this proceeding
>> “languish for another year.” Mr. Stoll suggested that NB Power
>> continue with any work using an “[…] incremental approach to the rate
>> design process so that we don’t inadvertently end up circling back or
>> redoing certain things […].”
>>
>> [14] In its submission, Utilities Municipal stated that it was not
>> able to identify specific work, but rather requested that the Board
>> seek input from NB Power about what would be possible to advance the
>> proceeding during any extension of time.
>>
>> [15] In its reply of June 4, NB Power responded to Mr. Stoll’s
>> comments, agreeing that efforts should be made to avoid overlapping of
>> proceedings before the Board. It suggested that its proposed deadline
>> of June 30, 2022, would accomplish that objective. It noted that, in
>> the meantime, it could advance work on certain issues and utilize a
>> more up-to-date budget and load data.
>>
>> [16] In her written submission dated May 27, Ms. Black supported the
>> Application stating that she had no objection to the extension of time
>> requested. Ms. Black stated that she supported the suggestion that NB
>> Power file a plan to overcome what was referred to as the
>> “representation gap” to ensure that, for example, residential
>> customers’ interests are adequately represented.
>>
>> [17] Section 43 of the Act states:
>> 43 The Board may review, rescind or vary any order made by it.
>>
>> [18] Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Rules of Procedure state:
>> 1.2.5. The Board may in its discretion extend or abridge the time
>> fixed by these Rules or by the Board, on its own initiative or in
>> response to a request by a party, either before or after the time so
>> fixed has expired.
>>
>> 8.1.1. An application to review, rescind, or vary an order under section
>> 43
>> of
>> the Act, or to rehear an application under section 44 of the Act shall
>> contain:
>> a) a concise statement of the facts;
>> b) the grounds that the applicant considers sufficient, including:
>> i. any error of law or of jurisdiction,
>> ii. changed circumstances or new facts that have arisen since the
>> close of the original proceeding, or
>> iii. facts that were not placed in evidence in the original proceeding
>> and that were then not discoverable by reasonable diligence;
>> c) any prejudice or damage that has resulted or will result from the
>> order;
>> and
>> d) the relief sought.
>>
>> [19] Accordingly, the Board has the discretion to vary its Matter 357
>> Decision by granting an extension of the time required for NB Power to
>> file its rate design application.
>>
>> [20] In making a determination with respect to a variance, the Board
>> must consider the criteria set out under Rule 8.1.1 of the Rules of
>> Procedure, and owes a duty of fairness to those who are affected by
>> its decisions.
>>
>> [21] As stated in the Matter 357 Decision, the Board needs to consider
>> how the views of
>> consumer groups will be represented in relation to rate design. The
>> Board’s hearing
>> procedure encourages public participation to provide a meaningful
>> opportunity to present
>> their case fully and fairly.
>>
>> [22] Due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however,
>> the Board recognizes that some people may not have this opportunity,
>> should the proceeding continue as currently scheduled.
>>
>> D. Conclusion
>>
>> [23] In light of these circumstances, the Board varies the Matter 357
>> Decision and grants an extension of time, as requested. NB Power is to
>> file an application to address the issues identified as the first
>> phase in the Matter 357 Decision to a date no later than June 30,
>> 2022, subject to the direction below.
>>
>> [24] The Board directs NB Power to file a proposal to address any gap
>> in relation to under-represented customers, as referenced in the
>> Matter 357 Decision, by October 31, 2021.
>>
>> Dated at Saint John, New Brunswick, this 16th day of June, 2021.

>> Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year
>> bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed.
>>
>> Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84.
>> Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and
>> leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules
>> committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge,
>> appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter.
>>
>> “As an attorney, civil rights activist and judge, and over his nearly
>> thirty years in Congress, he fought tirelessly to create opportunities
>> to lift up working families, communities of color, children and
>> immigrants,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.
>>
>> President Joe Biden reacted to Hastings’ death on Tuesday afternoon.
>> “Across his long career of public service, Alcee always stood up to
>> fight for equality, and always showed up for the working people he
>> represented,” he said in a statement. “Jill and I are saddened to
>> learn of his passing.”
>>
>> Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving
>> the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats
>> are vacant, four of which were previously held by Democrats and two by
>> Republicans.
>>
>> Three of the four Democratic House seats were vacated by appointments
>> to positions in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Deb Haaland, of New
>> Mexico, was appointed secretary of the Department of Interior; Marcia
>> Fudge, of Ohio, was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban
>> Development, and Cedric Richmond, of Louisiana, became senior advisor
>> to the president and director of the White House Office of Public
>> Engagement.
>>
>> One of the two vacant GOP seats is no longer up for contest. Julia
>> Letlow of Louisiana was elected in late March but has yet to be sworn
>> in. Julia will replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who was elected
>> to the seat but died before being sworn in due to Covid-19
>> complications.
>>
>> In 1983, when Hastings was a federal judge, he was acquitted in
>> criminal court on a charge of conspiring to solicit a bribe in
>> exchange for leniency in a sentencing.

>> Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
>>
>> By Erin Hatfield
>>
>> "If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
>> world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
>>
>> The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
>> the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
>> watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
>> unofficial, theme song for the debate.
>>
>> The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
>> they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
>> Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
>> chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
>> left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
>> mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
>> the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
>>
>> The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
>> organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
>> of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
>> and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
>>
>> Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
>> responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
>> exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
>> Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
>> other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
>> Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
>> questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
>> relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
>> response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
>> getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
>>
>> Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
>> party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
>> well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
>> on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
>> places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
>> shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
>>
>> The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
>> one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
>> front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
>> voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
>> Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
>> readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
>> final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
>> register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
>> abiding citizens."
>>
>> The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
>> women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
>> yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
>> spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
>>
>> Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
>> Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
>> yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
>> post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
>> Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
>> anyplace," Armstrong responded.
>>
>> As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
>> candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
>> fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
>> process for the June 28 vote.
>>
>> Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
>> favourite possessions—motorcycles.
>>
>> McKnight/KCR
>>
>> The Unconventional Candidate
>>
>> David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
>>
>> By Gisele McKnight
>>
>> FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
>> wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
>> that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
>>
>> Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
>>
>> The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
>> and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
>> running for office in Canada.
>>
>> One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
>> to meet Elections Canada requirements.
>>
>> When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
>> favourite place to do so—Fundy.
>>
>> Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
>> dissatisfaction with politicians.
>>
>> "I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
>> said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
>>
>> The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
>> 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
>> needed to change his life.
>>
>> "I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
>> sometimes in midlife."
>>
>> So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
>> motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
>> Panhead motorcycle.
>>
>> "Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
>> experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
>> renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
>> for anything, but you take what they offer."
>>
>> For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
>> and conversation all over North America.
>>
>> Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
>> and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
>> himself.
>>
>> He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
>> rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
>> individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
>> Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
>>
>> Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his
>> life.
>>
>> "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
>> "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
>>
>> Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
>>
>> "I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
>> interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
>> call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
>>
>> And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
>>
>> "I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s
>> not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
>>
>> What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
>> the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
>> name a few.
>>
>> "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
>> farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m
>> death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
>> (NAFTA) out the window.
>>
>> NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
>> easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
>>
>> Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
>>
>> "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
>> especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
>> Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
>>
>> Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
>> your X by his name.
>>
>> "I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
>> say, ‘what the hell.’"

>> Prosecutors say Joyce’s lawyer lied, should be pulled from trial
>>
>> By Neal Simpson
>> The Patriot Ledger
>> Posted Jan 18, 2018 at 12:59 PM
>>
>> BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state
>> Sen. Brian Joyce of lying to state ethics officials and are asking a
>> judge to have him pulled from Joyce’s defense team if the former
>> legislator’s corruption case goes to trial.
>>
>> In a motion filed earlier this month, prosecutors said lawyer Howard
>> Cooper had made “several material and false representations” to the
>> state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce, a Milton Democrat who is
>> accused of using the influence of his office to collect a series of
>> bribes, kickbacks and gifts, including hundreds of pounds of free
>> coffee and a Jeep.
>>
>> Prosecutors say Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his
>> schemes and could provide important testimony at trial.
>>
>> Cooper, a founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, was not
>> identified by name in the 113-count indictment against Joyce, but
>> prosecutors said in their motion filed earlier this month that he was
>> the unnamed attorney described in the indictment as sending misleading
>> emails and letters to the Ethics Commission on Joyce’s behalf. Cooper
>> did not respond to request for comment Wednesday.
>>
>> In one of those letters, sent in October 2016, prosecutors say Cooper
>> falsely told the Ethics Commission that Joyce had directed his
>> retirement account to purchase common stock in an energy-insurance
>> holding company doing business in Massachusetts.
>>
>> In fact, prosecutors say, the retirement account was a sham created to
>> evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company,
>> which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce
>> was championing on Beacon Hill.
>>
>> Prosecutors say Cooper also sent two misleading emails to the Ethics
>> Commission about Joyce’s relationship with a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee
>> who made payments to Joyce and sent him free coffee at the same time
>> that the senator was pushing legislation that would help the
>> franchisee’s business.
>>
>> Prosecutors said Joyce received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from
>> the franchisee – giving much of it away to constituents or fellow
>> state senators – but later tried to claim he paid for the coffee
>> deliveries or had received them in exchange for legal services
>> provided by his law firm.
>>
>> In 2015, prosecutors say Cooper emailed the Ethics Commission and told
>> them Joyce had purchased the coffee he gave out to fellow senators the
>> previous Christmas. In reality, prosecutors say Joyce only paid for
>> the coffee only after The Boston Globe reported on the Christmas gifts
>> a month later.
>>
>> Then in 2016, prosecutors say Cooper told the commission in an email
>> that an earlier delivery of coffee in 2013 had been made in exchange
>> for Joyce’s legal work on related to a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise. But
>> prosecutors say Joyce only invented that arrangement in 2015, two
>> years after the coffee had already been delivered.
>>
>> Joyce was released last month on $250,000 bond secured by property he
>> owns in Canton. He is due back in court Feb. 23.

>> Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community
>>
>> By Neal Simpson
>> The Patriot Ledger
>> Posted Apr 4, 2018 at 4:47 PM
>>
>> BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for
>> former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have
>> earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations
>> who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have
>> defendants’ lawyers removed.
>>
>> Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding
>> partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s
>> defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce
>> cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements
>> to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to
>> Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a
>> collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking
>> would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel
>> and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while
>> criminal charges are pending.
>>
>> “Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective
>> advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It
>> would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more
>> frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense
>> counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the
>> government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
>>
>> The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as
>> the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him
>> of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he
>> traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in
>> kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was
>> arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000
>> bond.
>>
>> A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors
>> indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing
>> Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements
>> he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those
>> statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the
>> senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for
>> pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without
>> disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared
>> before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in
>> the company.
>>
>> Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the
>> statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled
>> Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February,
>> prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further
>> his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from
>> attorney-client privilege.
>>
>> In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his
>> attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown
>> any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate
>> that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that
>> prosecutors say were false.
>>
>> Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the
>> statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had
>> not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of
>> making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015
>> after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
>>
>> Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment
>> right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney
>> following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the
>> exhaustion of his resources.”
>>
>> “Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented
>> him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence,
>> and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he
>> does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said
>> in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and
>> clearly unconstitutional blow.”
>>
>> The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed
>> Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the
>> Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American
>> Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys
>> argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling
>> Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for
>> prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming
>> that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their
>> client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a
>> separate amicus brief.
>>
>> “We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally
>> protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts
>> and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston
>> Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be
>> disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no
>> evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”
